Fallout: New Vegas fans have unveiled the first trailer for their ambitious player-made Fallout: Mexico mod.

The Fallout: Nuevo México team first started teasing the project in 2021 and last year, shared a lengthy gameplay video.

“It is a fan-made creation driven purely by passion and creative work, with zero funding involved. A dedicated effort to share a unique vision of a post-apocalyptic world in México,” they explained, with fans comparing it to full conversion mod Fallout: London.

Now the Fallout: Nuevo México mod has received its first official trailer, which is as haunting, eerie and terrifying as we’ve come to expect from the long-running franchise.

“Mexico City is the largest city in North America and serves as the biggest hub in Fallout: Nuevo México. While still largely under development, we are thrilled to finally reveal this iconic wasteland,” said the team.

Fallout: Nuevo México is set in the year 2166, five years after the events of the original Fallout, and welcomes players to the Land of Enchantment.

“Once the vibrant heart of a massive metropolis, Mexico City now lies in ruin, a battleground for factions struggling for dominance and survival. From the decaying colonia of Chapultepec to the submerged canals of Xochimilco, the city is a haunting blend of beauty and brutality,” continued the description.

A release date for the project, which is being built using New Vegas, is yet to be announced. According to developers though, fans will be waiting a while to actually get their hands on this mod.

“Please note that Fallout: Nuevo México is still a long way from completion, and this reveal trailer is intended to give you a glimpse of what we ultimately aim to achieve,” they explained. “While many aspects of the project are unfinished, we hope that this trailer helps showcase our vision and provides a sneak peek at the immersive world we want to create.”

When Fallout: London was finally released earlier this year, it went on to smash download records on player-made mod platform GOG. 

Nuevo México isn’t the only fan-led project in the works either, with another team currently working on an open-world, 3D remake of Fallout 2. It comes after Bethesda confirmed it won’t be releasing a new Fallout game until after The Elder Scrolls 6 is finished, and work on that game is still ongoing.

In other news, Microsoft has confirmed that Halo developer 343 Industries has been renamed Halo Studios, with “multiple” new games in the works. It’s been described as a “new dawn” for the franchise.
